For those who haven’t been keeping up, SoulCalibur VI is being built using Unreal Engine 4 and aims to shake things up with the new “Reversal Edge” system. Here’s how Bandai Namco describes the mechanic:

In Soulcalibur VI, Reversal Edge is a new battle system that integrates both offense and defense. Once a Reversal Edge is activated, you can continuously defend against the opponent’s techniques and follow-up with powerful counterattacks based on the opponent’s actions. When a Reversal Edge hits, you can enjoy a powerful production like a scene from an action movie, highlighted by a dynamic camera.

The SoulCalibur VI open beta began today at 8am PT, and will end on Sunday, September 30 at 8am PT, so you best get in some battles while you can! PS4 players don’t need PS Plus to participate, but Xbox owners will need to be subscribed to Xbox Live Gold. You can check out official guides to some of the beta fighters, right here.

What do you think? Will you be engaging in a little swordplay this weekend?
